  • It Was Like We Were Having an Out of Body Experience: Brenda & Leroy Tate on Parenting a Rape Survivor
    2025/07/17
    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Unwanted Sorority, host Dr. Leatra Tate sits down with the two people who raised her, Brenda and Leroy Tate, for a multigenerational conversation on healing, community, and the legacy of silence around sexual violence in Black families. Leroy Tate, a retired Air Force veteran, reflects on his upbringing in a tight-knit Black community, his thoughts on masculinity, fatherhood, and his raw response to learning about his daughter’s assault. Brenda Tate, a retired administrative assistant and mother of three, opens up about growing up in the 1960s, how community centers shaped her childhood, and the heartbreak and self-blame she experienced upon hearing her daughter’s disclosure. Together, they talk candidly about: the generational shift in how Black communities discuss sexual violence, how the fear of judgment and distrust in policing impacted responses to assault in the 1960s, Parenting through trauma without a guidebook, and the urgent need for more Black mentors in youth-centered programs like Big Brothers Big SistersThis episode is a moving example of what it looks like to confront the past, lean into vulnerability, and choose healing together—even when it's hard. It honors Black family, community resilience, and the sacred act of telling the truth. Resources & Mentions bell hooks books referenced: Ain’t I a Woman?

  • You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup: Trina Greene on Parenting for Liberation and the Ritual of Self-Care
    2025/07/10

    In this episode of The Unwanted Sorority, we’re giving flowers to the one and only Patricia Hill Collins. Leatra also talks with Trina Greene of Parenting for Liberation about the necessity of self-care for parents and children. Whether you’re a survivor or someone walking alongside us in this journey, taking care of yourself is not optional. It’s sacred.

    We also get real about trauma triggers—what they are, how they show up, and how to regulate after they hit. This episode also touches on a topic too often left out of healing conversations: childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and parenting. I lift up the powerful work of Ebony Williams and her organization Cactus in Bloom, which centers Black and LGBTQIA+ CSA navigating pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

    If you're healing, holding space, parenting through pain, or just trying to figure out how to make room for yourself in your own life—this one’s for you.
